Loyal

Sugar makers
report a medium sap up to date.

Miss Delia Cook,
who has been sick for some time now, is still lingering in the last
stages of consumption, without hope of recovery.

The temperance
ticket came off victorious at the last town election. The license
men say that "Preacher Foster" is to blame for depriving them of
their beer, &c, the coming year. We don’t think that Mr.
Foster cast but one of the fifty-five straight temperance votes
against twenty-three straight whiskey votes.

Joe Mack, while
sinking a well on James Rodgers’ farm, came upon a log of
wood six to eight inches in diameter, fifty-two feet below the
surface, in a fair state of preservation. Query - Who lived down
three years ago, long before Loyal was known? Wonder if the people
forgot to get out of bed?
